Where did AIDS come from anyway?

Anyway.. nobody knows

Or.. to put it another way, some people may know, but they ain't talking.
There appears to be reason to believe both AIDS and Ebola viruses were the result of a genetic engineering program - and there are similarities tho Ebola is "hot" and quick-acting.
Ebola is highly contagious with symptoms starting with jaundice, inflammation, very rapid weight loss, delirium, shock, hepatic failure, hemorrhaging and eventually multi-organ failure where, eg, the stomach just gets spewed up along with anything else in the body that is "spewable".
One odd thing about the Reston (Virginia) outbreak was that four people were infected with Ebola agent. There is no doubt these infections were genuine and the virus was strong in their bloodstream and and multiplied in their cells. But... none of these guys actually fell ill. If that was in Africa they would have died while their organs liquified and blood poured from all orifices. In all four Reston people, the virus eventually cleared from their bodies.
Prior to this time there was research by Merck and some other drugs company where they spent $35mill and hitting on subject matter very close to both AIDS and Ebola and, at the same time, more money was being spent by the US DOD into immune system destroying agents (related to bio warfare) - so who knows? One thing is certain (as certain as can be) - is that Ebola has never been found in the natural enviornment.
Until the source of AIDS/Ebola is found - the whole picture stinks.
